"My favorite part was every part!"
-Jeff Weiss
"You have made it possible for amateur astronomers around the globe to share their knowledge, skills, experiences, emotions and thoughts in your live broadcasts.
"It has become like a big family that meets once a week just to share with the others, some are seen, some listen and look in the background but feel exactly the same as those who are in the broadcast. Without your sacrifices and willingness to do this, we might be smaller groups like here and there, but now we know where everyone is and where things happen and where you learn something new every time.
"No other company, association, community organization does this and not least voluntarily as far as I know.
"So from the bottom of my heart, thank you Scott and Explore Scientific USA for doing this for us."
-Pekka Hautala - Amateur Astronomer & Astrophotographer
It's an honor to be even a small part of this wonderful event! Looking forward to many more Global Star Parties. I'll continue to spread the word amongst my astronomy groups."
-Adrian Bradley
"It’s been a life changing experience and education for me. At 69 yrs old. That’s impressive!"
-Harold Locke
Explore Scientific's Explore Alliance is honored to present the Global Star Party (GSP), where you can participate in a global live simulcast (on Facebook, YouTube, Twitch, and Twitter) that is held weekly with astronomers and lovers of the night sky from around the world! The Global Star Party started on August 4th, 2020 (originally called the Virtual Star Party) in response to the worldwide pandemic.
Since that time GSP has reached over a million people with hundreds of thousands watching these videos. Check out the new Facebook page for Global Star Party.
